rewings I have represented four such we in the (1 sections. The said sections are formed so th at or base scctronZane an upporsectionf. The when brougl'it togeth r at their ed es they bottom section 2 consists of e circulsr beseplnte 4 the edges of WlllCll are camped around Wl'HGl] is conetitute a roof liming the form 0 a, cone. For this purpose the reofiscctions have the term of sectors oi a circle, tire redial edges 1 5 being formed with rips 23, indicated in' t i lion the .io isciiztions are setltoto iorm the it crimpeo edges together I ey secured in L o new or Weather-strips 24%. 11c

These battens have their side edges turned inwardly to form flanges 25, which'ergage under the crim s 23. When the roof-sections are assem led as described, these battens are slid longitudinally from a lower position into the position shown in Fig. 1. In this way the roof-sections are firmly held to gether and .the roof is made substantially water-tight. It will be understood that in this way an opening is formed at the upper ends of the roof-sections where they meet at the center. This opening closed by a capplate 26, Whieh'consists simply of a plate of circular form, the edges of which project be yond the sides of the aforesaid opening so as ,to shed the water falling upon the. roof. This plate 26 has a central opening through which a clam ing-bolt 27 passes upwardly. WVith the be t applied as described the roof-sections are firmly held together and to the roofframe.

tions 22 an inwardly-projecting llauge 28 is provided, which projects toward the upper edge of the upper section. This flange rests against the upper edge of the top section and assists in holding the roof in position.

While I have illustrated only one upper section in connection. with the body of the granary, it should he understood that there may be more or less of these upper sections, as desired. Whenthere are more sections, of course thecapaeity of the granary is proportionately increased. Evidently the granary may be shipped to any point in disman tled condition and its parts may be quickly assembled to form a complete structure.

The upper section 3 is formed of a plate rolled to cylindrical form and having its vertical edges overlapping, as indicated in Fig. 6. Between these vertical edges a gasket or weather-strip 29 is placed, and on the in- .ner side and outer side of the section longitudinally-dis osed angle-irons 30 areplaeed. To these ang e irons and to' the overlapping edges rivets 31 or-similar fastening devices are a plied which rigidly connect the edges toget ier. In this yVaya secure joint isformed which is substantially water tight. strip 29 will be formed of some suitable material for this purpose, suchas leather or rubber. 4

Near the lower edges of the roof-sec The ! 'IIaving thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent 1. A granary having a substantially cylinof, a roof-frame haiving downwardly-bent arms with corrugations matching said first corrugations, a roof supported on said roofl'ramc, and means for securing said arms to said body.

2. In. a granary, in combination, a body of cylindrical form having corrugations formed near the upper edge thereof, a roofframe presenting radially-disposed trusses attached together at their inner extremities and having downwardly projecting arms with corrugations matching said first corrugations, a band encircling said body at said corrugationsand securing said arms thereto, and a roof supported on said roof-frame and composed of a plurality of detachable sections.

3. In a granary, in combinatiomsv body preser. l ing eircumferentially-disposed corrugations near the upper edge thereof, a roof-- frame composed of angle-irons having down wardly-projecting flanges, and webs bent downwardly to form arms with corrugations matching the said corrugations, a band encircling said body at said corrugations and holding said arms thereto, said trusses being secured togethe at their inner extremities, and a roof supported on said-frame.

4. A granary having a substantially oyhndrical body, a roof-frame supported on the upper edge of saidbody and presenting a central plate with trusses radiating therefrom and. secured to, said body, a roof composed of sections detachably connected to gether having flanges on the under edges thereof adapted to engage the side wall of said body, and means for supporting said roof at said central plate.
